Default LM-60 Snow Bridgy

Anyone tell me how slow and soft LM-60 will make my LS versus like a Mich PA3 from experience.\\Also 70 dollar Mich rebate nov1 current one is on snows.

I know the LM-60 will be more of a digger.

Where is the yeti when you need him?
I had blizzak at one point on my LS riding on 16" and I didn't really need them. Ride is harder than all season and wear was not as good either. If you live in a big snow belt area then get snows, otherwise a good all season will do. With vsc and trac the LS does ok.

Thanks and sorry prolly a question for other skiers. I am going to be driving the LS up this narrow 50 mile spit, or peninsula thru Lake Superior and the winds and snows can be horrific getting to Copper Harbor at the very tip.
The Primacies did ok this last year but this year I will be running 18's versus 17's.

I will prolly stick with the PA4 then as I think it is a V rated snow geared towards performance versus the Blizzak LM-60 still H rated but pretty lugged. Wondering if anyone has driven either.

Thanks I got on a Beemer forum they understood what I was asking as handling is primary versus smooth ride like our LS. The Pa4 or Graspic 3 Ds they run, Blizzax they felt just not tough enough too squirmy of tread blocks.

I drive my LS hard for stretches at 90-100 mph and they felt the V rated tires like the PA4 compromise little handling wise on dry pavement. This thing can be such a boat, so I got the euro suspension, and I still want to give her on the sections in the UP of MI when it seems like yur in Alaska and nobodys watching. Dought I will pin it to the governor like on my Primacies but we will see.

Seems ya never can go wrong on Michelins

I have the Michelin X-Ice xi3 on my Saab 9-5.

I like them much better than the Blizzak ws70 I had.
